Not sure which one would be best for his age. Huge amounts of text are no the best as reading is not one of his strong pionts.

basically any of the games I've put in bold even if reading isn't his strong point my little sister is 4 years old and can barely read an she enjoys them thoroughly the battle system really isn't that hard either

I just gave him soulsilver and he loves it. I am now greeted with loud shouts of 'FIGHT', 'SMOKE SCREEN', and ‘DEFENCE DOWN'. He needed a little bit of help to start off but is now on his way. He is so excited the touch screen is taking a bit of a battering.

I don't think he is getting much of the story line though so I will probably have to help him through some of the critical story line.

Good choice man. I was playing Pokemon in kindergarten. And over the years, as he grows up, it will only become more fun for him, as its a 'true' Pokemon experience whereas Ranger is...well...not so 'Pokemon-eee' lol. AND you got him the best game IMO. (Just make sure when he gets to the Legendary on the front cover [lugia] to save before that way he doesnt kill it and instead catches it hahaha)

Not only that but I think its nice because you can help him, so its something you and your son can do together wish i had that...

I got my first Pokemon (the real stuff) when I was 8. Id suggest the Ranger series for now whilst he is still young. Once he gets good at reading and doesn't mind doing it too much, get him the proper Pokemon games.
